keep your head up Ced....this guy exemplifies class....anyone saying he was not in shape obviously knows nothing about bodybuilding...flat yes, but shredded. Cedric has a supreme structure....that means him at 80% beats most guys on their best day. Bodybuilding isn't fair....it's the genetic elite that rise to the top...nothing you can do about it

Sorry, but I for one loved the attitude of the bodybuilders of the 1990's. Levrone, Wheeler, Ray, and Yates to name a few. None of them were humble. They were self-assured and busted serious ass. That's what I want to see from bodybuilders. Bring the pain, not the tears. Understood Ced had a horrible family accident and it affected his personal results, but he won. Now be confident damnit. Humble is okay, but we want to see someone go demolish someone else on stage. I am sure he will learn from this experience and carry on. Congrats Ced. Do your thing.

It's not. And I think Jason Huh had plenty of people criticizing him during MD's "Huh week" and he never bitched about it. He actually joked about it... I believe his joke was, "Haters make you greater." Watch for him in NY baby! Korean monster.

This may be the best bodybuilding video commentary I've ever heard. Props to this man and MD for bringing it.
